Chapter 2
1 week earlier
Charlotte stared at the bottle
in her hand. She had it for a week now and this little bottle could
change her life forever. She placed it on the table in front of her
and sat back on the couch in her apartment. She rubbed her forehead
she didn't know if she wanted this. It could turn her life in a way
that there was a possibility that she could lose Chris, her life as
it is right now.
She leant forward and looked at the bottle carefully "What should I do? I bet you won't give me the answer I need" She grabbed it and stood up walking to her cabinet she turned the key to open up the door. She placed the bottle in it and locked the door taking the key out she hid it somewhere safe. She looked at her watch.
"Shoot Chris is going to kill me" Looking around her apartment one more time she black orbed out.
Present
time - Manor - 04.00 am
Chris woke up and he slowly turned
around to look at Charlotte. He rubbed his eyes again because she
wasn't there. He looked at his alarm and noticed it was only four
am. "Where did she go?" he lifted himself up to look around the
room but no Charlotte.
He groaned and he got out of bed. Putting on a shirt he opened up his door and slowly walked out of his room. He wanted to go downstairs but he heard a noise coming from the attic. He turned around and walked towards the attic stairs. Carefully he walked up making sure the stairs didn't squeak. Walking in slowly he saw Charlotte standing by the book "Charlotte?" She looked up a bit spooked because she didn't expect Chris to be here.
"What are you doing here? It's four am" Charlotte nodded "I know I couldn't sleep anymore and decided to read in the book" she gave him a slight smile "Are you sure? There's nothing more?" Chris looked at her suspicious and Charlotte sighed "No Chris there's nothing more" She closed the book before Chris could see on what page she was. Charlotte quickly walked away "Lets go back to bed" Chris shook his head he really didn't know what was going on here but he would find out.
He followed her back to his room and he got back in bed next to her. He looked at her she had turned herself away from him so he couldn't see if she was asleep or awake. He raised his hand to touch her but he dropped it letting out a big sigh he laid himself on his back and closed his eyes to go back to sleep.
Charlotte heard Chris sighing and she closed her eyes for a moment to make sure the tears wouldn't run down her face. She turned around slowly to look at Chris but he already was fast asleep again. She brushed a hair out of his face she really loved him and she didn't want to lose him. She had to work fast there wasn't much time left. She curled up in his arms and he automatically wrapped them around her.
Manor
- 09.00 am
Charlotte opened her eyes and noticed that they
were still in the same posture as they fell asleep in. She yawned
covering her mouth with her hand she fell Chris stir. She looked up
at him and he gave her a smile with his eyes half open. He brushed
her hair out of her face. "Good morning to you" Charlotte smiled
and pulled herself a bit up she gave him a kiss. "Good morning to
you too" He took her in a bit closer.
"So are you ready for a nice family day? Mom has arranged a lot of stuff to do" He grinned. Charlotte gave him a little punch "ouch why did you do that for?" He said laughing. "Because you were making fun of your mother. You know how important this is to her" Charlotte got up but Chris pulled her back.
"Chris come on we're going to get late." Chris sighed "Mom can wait we still need to talk" Charlottes smile disappeared. "I don't want to talk" She got up again and dressed herself. "Can't you let it rest? I just woke up and decided to read and get a walk" Chris pushed himself up on his elbows and looked at her.
"Charlotte please you know that's not it there's more going on and you're not telling me what it is" Charlotte crossed her arms and looked outside the window. "I have my reasons for that and I told you I couldn't tell you yet" She turned around and looked at him. "I'm sorry Chris but you have to trust me on this" She black orbed out "Charlotte wait.." but she was already gone. "Damned great move Chris" He got up and dressed his self.
Walking out of his room he saw Wyatt and Bianca coming out of their room. "Good morning Chris" Wyatt said "Yeah good morning" He mumbled following them down the stairs he could hear his mother in the kitchen preparing the food for the rest of the day. "Where's Charlotte?" Bianca asked curious "I thought I heard her this morning" Chris sighed "Yeah she was here but we got into a fight" Bianca frowned "Nothing serious I hope" "I don't know Bianca, I don't know"
